Ramses The Great

Pharaoh Ramses II, considered the greatest ruler of his age, was a warrior leader and builder of numerous temples. He reigned at the peak of Ancient Egypt's power and influence, leading military campaigns with his father from a young age. Ramses II married at 15, amassing over 200 wives and concubines, and had over 150 children. This presents classic works that set Ramses' story in the wider context, from the kings of the Eighteenth Dynasty to the beginning of ancient Egypt's decline.
